Comment

This month's results are not impressive at all but we are glad that our trades made profits nevertheless. All trades showed profit expect for the DIA DD initiated on 25 Jan. We have to terminate this trade prematurely because the market was beyond our short put. We saw no point in rolling this DD into an ITM iron condor. We were hoping to maybe profit slightly by closing but the best we could have done was a breakeven.

This month's results showed the resilience of market-neutral strategies. Even though the market crashed big-time recently, we still managed to show some profit. There is a probability that the market will go nowhere in the coming weeks. Unfortunately, partly due to the increased volatility in the market, we're been very careful with our trades. We currently have 5 open positions, some of which will be closed in the month of April. Let's hope we can make better returns for April.

Yours sincerely,

Gary
